BRISTOL—Mt. Hope High School students were duped and brainwashed by famous area hypnotist Frank Santos Jr. while on stage in front of their peers in the school’s auditorium on Thursday night. The hypnotist had the throng belly laughing in the aisles after he picked a small group of students then began the follies by suggesting the group see aliens, dance with broomsticks and sing as Justin Bieber. Proceeds from the show benefited the Class of 2013 fund-raiser.
